Farscape Season 2

Mind the Baby 2.01

I'm.... a little confused. I really expected them to pick up right where they left off, and maybe do a 'previously on FARSCAPE' but maybe it's that other show that assumes you don't remember your canon. D'Argo is freaked, man. And... why does he look different. Hair cut? And I think I missed why Zhaan is tripping here.

Man, they just jump right in, don't they? AERYN went to TALYN??? Is she worried about the baby or what? Um, that was looped badly. Why did they loop that? D'Argo got a haircut. Aeryn is PMSing, or something. Wow. Arguing. Cool.

AAAAAaaiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!! Scorpy, why do you have lightsticks in your BRAINS? *squick*

Talyn wants his Mommy. Mmmm. Wow, bad looping. Guys.... c'mon. Although I'm really entertained by how dirty Aeryn looks.

Hahahaha paper-rock-scissors. Hahahahaha "Just the once"! HA. Man, this is the best 'ship I've ever seen canonically written. AH big! tongue! thing! what? What did D'Argo just hit Aeryn with? And WHAT has John been smoking, because he's a little off his rocker. Maybe really off his rocker. Zhaan maybe more so. Um.

"I love you." *glee*

Crais looks a little better groomed than he did at the end of last season. And you know, I already find him more interesting than I did the entire first season.

Cuddly cuddly 'ship love. I cannot believe I'm shipping a het pairing, y'all. *boggle*

Vitas Mortis. 2.02

Okay... Zhaan has nice jewelry, John is dressed in black leather, always a plus, and D'Argo is in a mumu. Or a kimono. Right.

John? Ease off the hair gel, buddy. And... I gotta say this ep is not holding my attention very well. Except for the D'Argo/Chiana subtext, which is very sweet.

*gack* Okay... Luxan sex. *meep*

Oh, Pilot is getting old. That's cool. *is interested again* Whoops, it's the end of the show. Wierd that D'Argo was laying the weird spritual woman while Chiana was frozen to Moya while doing his laundry. Wonder if he'd have had as great a moral quandry if he realized Chi was also included in the bargain? Huh.

Lightsticks! I've totally made those in O Chem lab. *shivers* Not good for heads. And where is his brain, then? *lip wibbles*

It's not the leather, not the intermittant low voice, not the lipstick, it's the LIGHTSTICKS IN THE BRAIN that squicks me. *mumbles something about anatomy and physiology not mixing with OChem lab products*

Plus, you will come to love Dave Elsey and his merry band of prosthetic-making lunatics.

(Oscar-nominated, wa-hey!)

I already love the props clearly bought at the local toy store and painted silver. *glee*

Although they must have some scientist on board because they used a pipetteman earlier to cure Aeryn's blood-spitting nerve damage problem, and that's a fairly specific scientific tool.

One of the early commentaries ( I think for I, ET, not entirely sure) talks about the props, how funny and plastic and slightly pornographic many of them were:) And how they had to make up what to do with them. It's impossible to watch early scenes with some of the props after hearing the commentary if you want to maintain any degree of suspension of disbelief:)

Yup, "I, ET", with the "chlorium detector" - IIRC, the actors decided it was probably actually called the PleasureVibe 2000, and then nobody wanted to touch it because they didn't know where it'd been.

(And I think it was FrooniumRicky who produced, "But nobody can resist the vibrator!" while doing live ep commentary at a con. Clearly, it's a recurring motif .... )

Some of Dave Elsey's gang have also spoken eloquently about the looks you get when you buy insanely vast quantities of KY Jelly at once.
